With no snow, very little frost and very mild weather, we still have flies buzzing around, makes me wonder what to expect from the coming year.

Will it be very dry...........causing water usage problems in the South.

Will there be more floods

Will people be holding on to their money

Will there be less carpeting as hard flooring sales continue

Whatever happens...................are you ready, or at least prepared ?

Good luck for 2008, but try not to depend on luck.

are hard floor sales increasing? I thought they were in decline.

I'm an optimist, what ever happens I flourish

A year ago I thought hard floors were in decline, but newer, more expensive, solids are replacing laminate, and they do offer maintenance opportunities

So many of the new builds up here and there's a lot, have tiled and solid timber throughoutthe ground floors, with stairs and bedrooms carpeted.

However...........they all have suites to sit on and rugs.
